Children's road bike
You should only carry out setting of the
chain gears if you are capable of doing so.
If in doubt, have this carried out by a speci-
alist.
Maintenance and care
For reasons of safety, the first check of the
bicycle should be carried out after the first few
hours of cycling. All maintenance work re-
quires specialist knowledge. Please consult
your specialist dealer if you are not sure
whether you are able to carry it out yourself.
Cleanliness and corrosion protection
All painted and metallic surfaces can be
cleaned and protected using ordinary car care
products. Only use environmentally friendly
products and never use any aggressive deter-
gents.
Regularly oil the chain (chain or universal oil)
and clean when necessary.
The flanks of the rims (braking surfaces)
must be grease-free!
The vehicle is to be protected from winter salt
and long periods of storage in damp spaces
(e.g. garage) are to be avoided. If you do store
the bicycle in a damp environment, protect the
surfaces of unpainted metal parts (screws,
nuts etc.) with a suitable surface seal (e.g.
spray wax).
Hub and ball bearing should be checked from
time to time by a specialist, adjusted and lubri-
cated as required. Do not use a pressure
washer/steam cleaner to clean.
Lights
The lights are based on LED technology which
is characterised by its low consumption and
long lifetime.
To check the lighting system, raise the front
wheel and spin it.
Brakes
Please pay attention to the reduced effect of
the brakes on the front wheel when it is wet.
Sudden, forceful braking with the rim brake
should be avoided (V-brakes in particular have
very high braking performance) since the be-
haviour of the vehicle may suddenly change as
a result, which may end in a fall.
On long slopes, long periods of braking with
the back pedal back are to be avoided (this
results in excess heat to the back pedal brake
nave).
If the handbrake lever can be pulled more than
half-way to the handlebar, the brake must be
adjusted. The braking surfaces must be clean,
grease-free and the brake pads must be paral-
lel to one another. This means that the brake
pads should rest 1 mm below the top edge of
the rim and be mounted at a slight angle to
rim.
Worn pads must be replaced immediately!
When replacing, make sure you use original
pads or ensure that they match the material of
the rim at least (e.g. see the label: "Alloy / Alu"
for aluminium rims).
